New Uses for the Shoe Buttoner.


1t is a singular fact that nine out of ten
of the buns and tramps brought into the
station house have on their person a shoe
buttOner. No matter what kind of shoes
they wear, still they have one of these
simple instruments. Lieut. Handbook
decided week ago to make a collection
of the shoe buttoners taken from the
prisoners brought into Bremen street
station. In the seven days they numbered
eighteen, and like young ladies do with
their strings of buttons, he attached them
together. He has now a chain some
three feet in length A peculiar thing is
that the hook end is bent into a variety of
shapes. The penchant for having button
ers attracted the attention Of the detect
ives long ago, and it happened to strike
some bright minded policeman that
the little instrument could be made
to do the work of skeleton key, as
far as the locks in common use were con
cerned In reality, the shoe buttOner, to
all intents and purposes was converted
into a burglars tool, and still could be
readily passed off as a necessary imple--
ment in arranging ones toilet The pos
session Of a skeleton key is a serious
Offense and carries with it conviction of
penal term. The law, however, cannot re-
gard the shoe bTttOner as a contraband
article, and still the evil intending are as
well fortified with it as with the burglars
favOrite tool, since, when properly shaped,
it does the work equally as well. The ex-
pert can pick a lock with one Of these
little iron hooks with as much facility as
if he had a skeleton key and yet if caught
with it in his possession enjoys immunity
from the statute covering the ofense.
Usually, when one of these instruments is
found on ? prisoners person it is thrown
away, or perhaps given back if the owner
is released. No doubt in the course of a
year several hundred are taken up bv the
police. The amount Of theft that could
be traced to them would very probably

To-nIsnt.s Lecture.

Mr.. Richard T. Booth will deliver his
lecture, "Three years in the ranks-My
"reminiscences of the American civil
war;" at the Y. NJ G. A. Hall this even
ing. Wherever the lecture has been
delivered it has been spoken of as a
mastery effort. A Sydney paper says
"The lecture was exactly what popular
lecture should be. To say that it was
witty, truthful and instructive, homely
here, eloquent hereafter, and enthusiast
tic anon; to say that Mr.. Booth led his
audience through every phase of human
feeling, making them laugh and cry in
a single sentence, shudder at the ghastly
sights of some field hospital, frown in
dignation at some historic art of treach-
cry, or glow with generous fervor as he
painted his own dream of federated
race is only to admit what all who know
him would have expected from him.
The lecture contained just enough his
tory to refresh the minds of those once
acquainted with the events, and to
quicken the appetites of the ignorant"
The lecture commences at 7:30 O'Clock,
and the admission is only fifty cents

Bad Taste in Bookbinding.

Some one with a loud voice ought to
protest with all his might against the pre-
vailing style of binding cheap books.
Books are sold at marveIously low prices.
Isaw a copy of Bancroft's Colonial His
tory" marked at IS cents. Here was a
valuable book for trife, but it was posi-
lively painful to look at. 1t had been
bound on the theory that book is to be
used as a tea store chrome; that books are
not to be read, but to place where the Wis
itor can not help seeing them. The cover
was of cloth, OF course, and was fillagreed
in way that would have been disgrace
full for the covering of a silly love story.
Silver and bronze and blue and red were
intermixed on it and on other books in
the stall until they were hideOus to be-
hold.
Publishers seem to think that book
BUYERS must be baited like bulls with
flashing colors before their attention can
be attracted. The binding and stock must
needs be cheap where big octave is sold
for rs cents; but it is shameful to ruin the
taste of young book buyers by thrusting
such gaudy daubs as these into their
hands Cheap books are an inestimable
blessing; the lower the price the better, if
they be only in good taste. But black and
white and gold should alone be used in
making them.-BroOklyn Eagle.

many aspirants. First comes President
Cleveland, who seeks denomination.
The machine" does not approve his
administration, and lie will encounter
strong opposition within his own party,
but as the first Democratic President
since Buchanan he has made credit
able showing, and it would be impolitic
as well as ungratefu to deny him the
nomination.
Secretary Bayard stands high in his
party but his State, Delaware, is not OF
sufficient importance to secure him the
nomination, however admirably quail
fed he may be for the office OF Chief
Magistrate. Speaker Carlisle is clearly
in the presidential race, and is strong
candidate. His free trade proclivities
may be urged against him, but it would
not surprise US in the least if the Demo
cratic platform were to contain tariff
plank that would cover the whole ground.
That both parties are skirmishing around
the tariff is undoubted, but to the Dem
ocratic party belongs of right the obliga-
ton to limit taxation, direct or indirect,
10 the necessary requirements OF gov
eminent The Republicans, on the
other hand, hold to the theory that the
tariff should be used to foster domestic
industries, and therefore that it should
Weld an excess. These considerations in
cline us to the belief that Carlisle will
be the fayorite candidate from The "sOlid
South and several OF the Western
States He would also be a strong can
didate in New York, although it is hardly
probable that he could carry the Empire
State for his party, especially If the
workingmen put up Henry George as an
indeLendent candidate, which is not at
all unlikely.
But a Western man will probably be
the choice OF the Democratic party, un-
less Cleveland be nominated, and al
though Thurman and PendletOn have
been placed in retirement of late years,
the nomination OF one or other would
meet with general approval. Mr.. Pen
dletOn, when Senator from Ohio, was
the author of civil service reform, and
deserves well OF his party; and MIR.
Thurman, as Senator from Ohio also,
was one of the strongest, as well as one
of the most thOrough-going and honest
men in Congress. Macdonald OF Indi-
ana is III very strong position, now that
Hendricks is out of the way. In the
Northwest, Mckinley, brother OF the
Hawaiian Consul General at San Fran
cisco, is also prominent. Mr.. McKin-
ley is to-day practically the leader OF his
party il the House of Representatives,
and has promising career before him.
1t is only necessary to add that should
Henry George accept an Independent
nomination he will introduce an ele-
ment of uncertainty into the campaign
which may upset all party calculations.
Henry George is a man of wonderful
vitality and capacity for work He is full
of magnetism, and the charm OF honesty,
manliness and truth which pervade his
speeches and writings is in itself no
mean adjunct to such an enterprise.
From an intimate personal acquaintance
with Henry George, we should say thai
in the whole field of candidates named,
ne has no equal in the qualities men
toned.
